Protein powder during pregnancy?

Question

Hi! 
Before I was pregnant I would drink a protein shake every morning as breakfast, and quit drinking them when I found out I was pregnant. Anyone still drinking them now that they are pregnant and if so, which brands? Just concerned with ingredients and vitamins that are added to the powders. I prefer whey powders if that helps!
Thanks! :)

Answer

I like the Whole Foods 365 brand. It doesn’t have any crazy body building ingredients. Most days it’s the only protein I can stomach!

Answer

I’m not using it every day, but when I do make a breakfast smoothly I add a scoop of this:

*full disclosure though I have not asked my Dr about it yet but plan to at my first ultrasound appointment on the 1st.  
This one does have a bit of a bitter after taste but you do get used to it. It’s definitely better in a smoothie with other stuff than just on its own with milk or water. Supposedly you can also bake with it.

Answer

My doc told me to take Protiva in my first trimester. I did a scoop a day my entire pregnancy. I just had my sweet rainbow girl, and now I take the protiva Mom. Ask you doc, and see if they have discount codes! https://protivamom.com/

Answer

My doc actually recommended drinking them during pregnancy and said there weren't any hs had issue with. However I was too sick to even try lol

Answer

As soon as I started having Morning sickness I couldn’t stand the smell of them, it made me gag 🤮. Are you eating in replacement of a meal or just to add calories? I doubt it would be recommended as a meal replacement during this time.

Answer

consult a doctor first

Answer

there is are a few vegan shakes that are fine. Arbonne sells some and then there is one that is on the internet they're expensive but safe and give you a good source of plant protein.
